Learn to meditate – 8-week meditation course

”Starting to meditate is not about emptying the mind of thoughts. It’s about discovering that you are not your thoughts.” – Andy Puddicombe

(in English below)

What exactly is meditation? Why does it make a difference? And above all – how do I get started in a sustainable way?

Welcome to an eight-week course that is safe and supportive, where we explore these questions together. Whether you are completely new to meditation or have meditated before but have lost your routine, this course is for you. 

In today’s fast-paced society, we are accustomed to a high pace, constant impressions, and performance. Therefore, stopping and sitting still can feel both unfamiliar and difficult. Do you recognize yourself in the experience of it being ”impossible” to silence the thoughts within your head? The truth is that you don’t need to shut off your thoughts—you just need to learn to meet them with more softness.

Modern research shows that regular meditation makes a real difference to our health. It helps us lower the levels of stress in our bodies, reduce anxiety, and find deeper focus and mental clarity in everyday life. But to experience the effects, we need a place to start.

During this course you will be introduced to the classical Buddhist The Shamata tradition, which is about calming the mind by carefully directing attention to various focal points – such as your breath. You will explore various techniques and exercises that help you land in your body and support your journey towards finding inner peace.

Each session also includes a deepening theme where, in an enabling and safe community, we reflect on the philosophy of meditation and how we bring meditation into our everyday lives.

Start the new year with a gift for yourself – an inquisitive and honest exploration of your inner self. 
When: Tuesdays at 18:30 – 19:45
The course starts on January 12, 2027 and continuedEvery Tuesday until 2/3.

What exactly is meditation? Why does it make a difference? And above all—how do you get started in a sustainable way?

Welcome to a safe and supportive eight-week course where we explore these questions together. Whether you are completely new to meditation or have meditated before but lost your routine, this course is for you.

In today’s fast-paced society, we are used to high speed, constant sensory input, and high performance. Stopping and sitting still can therefore feel both unfamiliar and challenging. Do you resonate with the feeling that it is ”impossible” to quiet the thoughts inside your head? The truth is, you don’t need to turn off your thoughts—you simply need to learn to meet them with more gentle presence.

Modern research shows that regular meditation makes a real difference to our health. It helps us lower stress levels in the body, soothe anxiety, and find deeper focus and mental clarity in everyday life. But to experience these benefits, we need a place to begin.

During this course, you will be introduced to the traditional Buddhist Shamatha lineage, which focuses on calming the mind by gently directing attention toward different anchor points—such as your breath. You will explore various techniques and practices that help you land in your body and support your journey toward inner peace.

Each session also features a deep-dive topic where we, in a welcoming and safe community, reflect on the philosophy of meditation and how to bring practice into daily life.

Begin the new year with a gift to yourself—a curious and honest exploration of your inner world.
